Solution

The correct option is E me/it/him
The pronoun already mentioned in the given sentence is the singular first person 'I'. It is clear that the speaker is talking about Peter. So, the first pronoun must be the object pronoun 'me' as the first person acts as an object here.
Peter said something to the speaker. Thus the pronoun for that thing must be 'it'. Peter also acts as the object to the verb in the second part of the sentence. So, the object pronoun 'him' must be used.
The complete sentence must be-
When Peter told me about it I didn't believe him.
Thus option d is the correct answer.
Options A,B,C,E are incorrect.
